Cut out for 505-519-01
1. Turn the mast to an aft side up position.
2. Use a router fitted with a Ø18,8 mm guide collar and a Ø8 mm drilling bit.
3. Attach the jig V-679 to the mast, (with boom bracket centre hole
downwards) by first turning the "anchor" parallel to the sail slot and then
pushing it into the sail slot
4. Before tightening of the attachment bolts, they should be turned so that the
"anchors" are orthogonal to the sail slot. The "key" plates should point to
port and starboard when the jig is attached.
5. Choose the right centre hole depending on which boom bracket is going to
be used, see mast spec. Don't use excessive force when tightening the
attachment bolts, the anchors then might break from fatigue.
6. Lubricate the mill bit and mast wall thoroughly before milling. Extra stops
for lubrication might be necessary.
7. Put router on the jig, start the router, and lower it to the correct depth in the
sail groove.
8. Mill anti-clockwise pushing the router along the edges of the template hole
in the jig, then mill clockwise to make sure all contours is correctly milled.
9. Remove any burrs and grind the edges. C
10. Grind the upper corners (pic 1) carefully. M
11. Clean around sail slot and blow away all burrs.
